Trauthwein Associate Publisher & Editor Email: trauthwein@marinelink.com We are honored once again to present to you insights on 100 leading and innovative companies serving the subsea sector courtesy of our Ninth Annual MTR100. In the interest of full disclosure, I must admit that I have a true love/hate relationship with the MTR100 as it undoubtedly is the single biggest recurring editorial project of the year that com-mands much work and attention. That said, it is truly encouraging to see the evolution of the MTR100 edition, from the inaugural July/August 2006 edition to this year, when we received a record number of applications from around the globe. As always, I?m interested to hear your insights and comments on the work that we do, and I hope you, as did our entire editorial staff, nd a few items within that are new and enlightening. This edition of the MTR100 is slightly different from previous editions, as in the center of the magazine we present three overview features highlighting 24 of the 100. Starting on page 44 is ?Getting Defensive,? which discusses an amazing new conference set to debut in September in Newport, RI called Defense Innovation Days . Organized by the South- eastern New England Defense Industry Alliance (SENEDIA), the conference is bringing together a veritable ?Who?s Who? list of leaders in the subsea sector for three days of conference, meetings and social events addressing innovation from the technology per- spective, the war ghter perspective and the unmanned vehicle perspective. For complete details and the complete list of speakers, visit: www.defenseinnovationdays.com . ?The Norway Way? starts on page 50 and offers insights on this unique and longstand- ing subsea industry cluster. We dispatched Eric Haun to traverse the rugged west coast of Norway earlier this year, and he delivers information on a dozen companies, from corpo- rate behemoths to small engineering rms.Finally, I?m looking forward to seeing many of you at Oceans 2014 in St. Johns, New- foundland and Labrador, September 14-19. ( http://www.oceans14mtsieeestjohns.org ). If you have never had the pleasure to visit St. Johns, I highly recommend you make the effort to visit for Ocean 2014, as I?m betting you will not only see an incredible exhibition, but also enjoy some signature St. Johns hospitality.
